Hi John,
How do you add the code ? Readmethod, writemethod ? If so writemethod works only at design (creation) time or you might have missed the quotes (I do:).
Writing directly to vcx and recompiling works. I do like this :
use some.vcx
locate the control (there are two lines with the same objname - the first one)
open methods and add, modify code.
use
compile classlib (libname)

At designtime (builders:) aselobj(), readmethod,writemethod() combination works well. I have a very little dirty grid builder that I never have a feeling to convert to vcx. It just replaces controls with classes I want :) I had posted the code in one of the threads and I'm sure there is "..dirty grid.." words in it if you want to search it :)

This is about my 5th improvement where as a final step I wanted to add a "bindData" method to the saved grid class that has the code to rebind the grid data columns whenever required.This code is auto generated and at present I have to go to modify the new class, create a bindData method and paste the code in.
>One other thing I tried, was to programatically, open the VCX table and add the new method in the Method memo field and then to recompile the VCX. I am wondering why that did not work.
